Fingers were pointed after Labor political campaigners were caught parked illegally in Toowong.

While Labor's lord mayoral candidate Rod Harding was busy outlining his "Kick Starting Conservation" policy on Saturday morning, two of his campaigners had parked illegally while promoting a Labor candidate.

A spokesperson for Labor lord mayoral candidate Rod Harding said their "energetic team" always sought to operate within the rules and believed they were "within their rights" and referred to a photograph taken of a local LNP councillor parked in the same location on a previous date.

"In this instance they believed they were within their rights based on the fact that the local councillor was recently parked in the same location."

A Brisbane City Council spokesperson issued a statement that clarified "parking in any location that poses a risk to public safety or obstructs pedestrian or wheelchair access... is prohibited."
